Snickers

2017-04-09

Location: Indiana

Hello, I'm Snickers. I am 6 or 7 years old, spayed, up to date on shots, and heartworm negative (I did have them, but my vet cured me!). I lived in the back yard of a home in Owensboro, KY for my whole life. My owners never gave me preventative for heartworms, and when I got sick they dumped me at the shelter. The ladies at the shelter knew that I needed a special place, so they sent me to Indiana. I am black, white & tan, very long legged, and I am about 30 pounds of solid muscle. I love sitting on laps, catching mice, and exploring. I have a sweet disposition, but might do best in a home with no other dogs. I was so neglected that I crave all the attention I can get. I walk well on a leash, and will very happily sleep in your bed at night. My fostermom - and everyone that has met me so far - thinks I am beautiful and smart. I love riding in the car and will sit on the back seat like you're my chauffeur! You can see another photo of me here in my album. Do you have room in your heart for me?

Lil Red

2017-05-14

Location: Florida

Here begins the story of Lil Red Ratbone. A fellow animal advocate saw her darting in and out between moving trucks in the Redlands (a popular dumping area in Miami). It took Isabel THREE weeks to catch Lil Red and get her to safety. This little pipsqueak is a DOLL, and she's currently enjoying the heck out of life in her foster home. Lil Red is a very small girl, and she LOVES food - probably from her days of having to scavenge for food. Lil Red is sweet, but she can be shy with new people. She'd need a family who would be willing to help her transition from her foster home to a new home.Lil Red is 1 to 2 years old, and weighs just under 10 pounds.

Lily

2017-06-11

Location: Florida

Seniors for Seniors CandidateLovely Lily has a heart of pure gold. This beautiful little girl was adopted from Ratbone Rescues in 2010. She was returned to us last year because her owner fell ill and could no longer take care of her. Lily had cataracts in both eyes, but once she learned her way around she did very well. In October of 2017, one of Lily's eyes became very large and painful. We took her immediately to an Eye Specialist. Because of severe glaucoma in the one eye and the beginning of the same in the other eye, it was recommended to remove both of her eyes. She handled the surgery very well - and gets along just like she did before because her vision was terribly impaired before, plus now she has no pain. Lily walks well on a harness, but she steps uncertainly in new surroundings, which is understandable. Often times her fostermom carries her out to the yard to go potty and she enjoys sniffing the fresh breeze before they come back inside. Lily is a very sweet senior; even though her vision is impaired she is still a genuine sweetie. She is very cuddly and craves human interaction. Lily does fine with dogs and cats, but would do best with calm, respectful dogs. She is believed to be around 9 years old, and weighs about 8 to 10 pounds. Lily jumps up straight in the air when it is time for breakfast & dinner. To see more pictures of Lily please click here for her album.
